Artek & Be Original Americas at ICFF. We had the privilege of meeting up with Simone Vingerhoets-Ziesmann of Artek – who is also one of the driving forces behind the pioneering Be Original campaign. Be Original Americas is a passionate, collaborative effort by iconic brands, dedicated to preserving and celebrating original design. Supporters include a number of Latitude Nord manufacturers, such as Artek, Artemide, Cappellini, Cassina, Moooi, Poltrona Frau, and USM, amongst many others.

Dinner & Design at An Choi. We closed our ICFF experience with a dinner at An Choi. A weekend surrounded by innovation and discussions of originality led to Sylvain’s reflection: “When you throw your belongings out every two years, the importance of quality vanishes. This high speed consumption is irresponsible to the environment and creates an industry of perpetual knock-offs. Celebrate your own originality and collect timeless pieces that will last a lifetime.” Dinner & conversation at An Choi pictured below.
